Normally try to take s neutral view on the refs. However something I noticed today.
At the end of the first half into and probably at the end of the 1 minute added on the ball went for a throw. Surely end of half. No the ref let the throw be taken, from the resulting throw there was a tussle for the ball, surely now he blows. No he doesn't, Tranmere win the tussle and break, without checking his watch and I know he didn't because I was watching he blew as soon as it was us who came away with the ball.
I've no doubt in my mind if Chester had won the tussle and broke he would of let play continue.
Absolutely disgraceful imo

It's funny when you take a step back, the threads on here now could be replicas of most of the last 3 years. Two different managers 3 different seasons and same old moans, the only constants are Davies, Mcnulty, Sutton, Ridehalgh, Harris, Hughes, Norwood, Mangan. So possibly there in lies the problem given 7 of those are first team regulars, change the manager & bemoan refs all you like, it's these 7 that need to change I think.

Jack of all TradesFor me it is the inconsistency, what's a foul and worthy of a yellow card one minute, to a Rovers player, next minute an identical decision against the visiting team suddenly isn't a yellow card?
Our disciplinary record since dropping into this league is very poor however, sometimes you feel that referees are particularly eager to brandish their cards against Rovers players to make a point?

Just an observation and opinion.

I think it's that you just notice them when it's against a Rovers player, you don't bemoan a dodgy yellow for the other side. It's same threw the leagues, look at the Mane red the other week (wtbf was the right decision) but then 2 similar challenges in the same week get let off with yellows.
